AMJB MerQube Vol Advantage notes offer autocall and 50% barrier
JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, fully guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., is issuing $838,000 of Review Notes linked to the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index, maturing on November 26, 2030.
The notes can be automatically called on scheduled Review Dates starting November 23, 2026 if the Index closes at or above 90% of its initial level, paying $1,000 plus a call premium that starts at 17.75% and can reach 88.75% per $1,000 by the final Review Date. If the notes are never called and the Index is at or above 50% of the initial level at maturity, investors receive their principal back.
If at maturity the Index is below the 50% barrier, repayment is reduced one-for-one with the Index loss, so investors can lose more than half, up to all, of their principal. The Index includes a 6.0% per annum daily deduction that drags on performance, the notes pay no interest or dividends, and they are unsecured obligations. The price to public is $1,000 per note, while the estimated value at pricing was $926.80.

FAQ
What is JPMorgan AMJB’s new structured note offering in this 424B2?
The filing describes $838,000 of Review Notes issued by JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC, guaranteed by JPMorgan Chase & Co., linked to the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index and due on November 26, 2030.
How do the automatic call features work on JPMorgan AMJB’s MerQube Vol Advantage notes?
On each scheduled Review Date starting November 23, 2026, if the Index closes at or above 90% of its initial level (the Call Value), the notes are automatically called and investors receive $1,000 plus a predefined Call Premium Amount for that date; no further payments are made afterward.
What is the downside risk and barrier level on these JPMorgan AMJB notes?
If the notes are not automatically called and the Index’s Final Value is at least the Barrier Amount of 50% of the Initial Value (1,838.985), investors receive their principal at maturity. If the Final Value is below the Barrier Amount, the payoff per $1,000 equals $1,000 + ($1,000 × Index Return), so investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% Index decline from the Initial Value and can lose their entire investment.
What premiums can investors earn if JPMorgan AMJB’s notes are called?
The Call Premium Amounts per $1,000 increase over time, starting at $177.50 (17.75%) on the first Review Date and rising in steps up to $887.50 (88.75%) on the final Review Date, paid in addition to the $1,000 principal if the Index meets the automatic call condition on the relevant date.
How does the 6.0% annual deduction affect the MerQube US Large-Cap Vol Advantage Index?
The Index reflects a 6.0% per annum daily deduction, which reduces its level each day. This deduction can offset gains and amplify losses from the underlying E-mini S&P 500 futures strategy, causing the Index to trail an otherwise identical index without such a charge.
Do JPMorgan AMJB’s MerQube-linked notes pay interest or dividends?
No. The notes do not pay periodic interest and investors do not receive dividends or other distributions from the S&P 500 securities or the futures contracts referenced by the Index. All potential return comes from an automatic call premium or the final principal-based payoff.
What is the estimated value versus the price to public for these JPMorgan AMJB notes?
The price to public is $1,000 per note, while the estimated value at pricing was $926.80 per $1,000 principal amount. The difference reflects selling commissions, projected hedging profits or losses, and hedging costs included in the issue price.
